Three members of a Wilmington, Delaware, family who were poisoned by pesticide while on a Caribbean vacation remain paralyzed and are not expected to recover further, U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp said during a June 30 news conference.
“Unfortunately, I have to give some bad news. The family that were the victims of the poisoning at Sirenusa is not doing well,” Mapp said, reports the Virgin Islands Daily News.
The four members of the Esmond family are believed to have been exposed to methyl bromide on March 18 while staying at the $800-a-night Sirenusa resort on St. John.

ReplyDeleteNot "were the victims", they ARE the victims.
There are other horror stories about this chemical, like the dock inspector who died after being in an opened ISO 40' shipping container for a few minutes. The container was full of marble slabs; the wood spacers and supports had been sprayed for insects before shipping.
